Your 48 hours is just about up, so how did it go?

Well, just signed up for the SANS FOR408 OnDemand course. Material should arrive next week, and possibly doing GCFE certification around May.

Also paid for the upgrade PWB 3 to PWK course material, as I also didn’t do the exam. Will look at that after the SANS course, and probably buy some lab time.

Hi, whilst I haven’t done a mentor course before, I have had an instructor who ran a couple. As far as I can tell, it is all the same material, but I would assume that where one would do labs in class, they may be assigned as homework between each session.

Also, they are usually much smaller than at a conference, adn therefore would be more…[Read more]

Perhaps have a machine running an IDS to test bypassing them. Same with anti-virus.

I'm a bit concerned about taking this course.

Over the past 48 hours, I have tried 3 times to get a demo of the student course. Entered my details, and got a webpage saying a confirmation email had been sent with a link, no emails arrived.

I clicked on the icon saying “Live Support: Online”, and after typing about my attempts, it came back…[Read more]

Hi psalvi

Even though you don’t get extra practice test with the reattempt, you can purchase a pratice exam for $129, I don’t know if thats an option for you depending on finances.

Also, my suggestion is to check the results of your 1st attempt, and brush up on those areas that you scored low in.

And good luck with the retake.

Hi Armando

With the exam, what is the timeframe, how long do you have to do it?

I know with OSCP you have 24 hours to do the penetration, then another 24 hours to submit the report.

Good to see another test that really tests skill, not just memory.

Okay, Joe has sent the week 2 details.

I was able to download the small rar file, but both the VM links fail, anyone had any luck downloading them?

Anyone received the information for week 2 yet?

No, I haven’t as yet. But then again, I didn’t get the first week details until 7 hours from now, this day last week.

Also, don’t know if he has been caught up in the problems on the east coast of US.

Hi Lee

I had the same problem, but managed to find it by looking in one of the log files included in the download.

It is the same as the username, and the same password is used as your ‘sudo’ password.

Good luck
John

Anyone else received the download details?

I sent Joe an email about 8 hours ago, and still haven’t heard anything. (nothing in my Spam folder either)

Update: Finally received the emails, downloading now  ;D

Hi 3xban

How long ago did you receive it?

I haven’t received a copy as yet, so just want an idea.

Cheers

So, has anyone received the email detailing how to download the training material as yet?

Its well into the 23rd in the US now, 24th for me here in Oz.

Guess I’ll shoot him an email and see whats happening.
